Ah, the old 1-10 rating system. Internationally known and loved, its usefulness in whittling someones total self-worth down to a single number knows no bounds. Unfortunately, it does a very bad job of accurately conveying any sort of real information about the person in question. Enter the area code rating system. This past weekend I was out at the bar with my friends and it was introduced to me by some friendly random bar-goer. Here’s some appropriate background music for you to enjoy while consuming this post: http://shesalwayscallingme.ytmnd.com
The basic idea is this: the rating is composed of 3 numbers – body, do-ability, face (in that order). Body and face attractiveness are on a 0-9 scale and do-ability is straight up 1 or 0 – would you or wouldn’t you?
Some examples (I used a random dating website for authenticity):
718
This girl is a clear 718 (which is incidentally the area code I hail from). Very cute face, (what appears to be) a good body, and clearly doable.
304
Ugh. That is all. On a somewhat related note, why on earth would you put this picture in a profile you’re using to attract people? This picture is about as sexy as bag of used needles.
516
This girl is borderline doable. Maybe we need to expand the doable range to 2, where 1 would now mean “depends on how drunk I am at the time.”
717
This girl reminds me of the actress who played the bitchy Ice Queen in The Chronicles of Narnia. I don’t think I should have just admitted that I saw that movie.

Yeah baby, you drink that Diet Coke! Sorry Feez.
